An annealing process that is carried out in a controlled atmosphere furnace or vacuum in order that oxidation is reduced to a minimum and the surface remains relatively bright.
Is annealing in an inert gas atmosphere (hydrogen, nitrogen, ...) without atmospheric oxygen, to avoid oxidation, so that no scale and/or oxidation layers can form on the work-piece.
An annealing process usually carried out in a controlled furnace atmosphere so that surface oxidation is reducedto a minimum and the surface remains relatively bright.
Annealing in a controlled atmosphere (e.g., cracked ammonia, hydrogen, or vacuum) to prevent formation of oxides and scale. Eliminates the need for acid bath pickling and allows for natural passivation.
In bright annealing, the material is annealed by heating and cooling in a furnace in an inert atmosphere filled with gases, such as hydrogen or nitrogen, which prevent oxide scale formation. The material comes out of the bright anneal furnace softer with the same relatively bright surface as it went in.
A form of annealing in which the level of atmospheric gas is reduced in order to remove surface oxides from the surface of the stainless steel and to prevent discoloration during the annealing process. This process is responsible for the bright, shiny appearance associated with stainless steel.
Annealing work in a protective atmosphere to prevent discoloration as the result of heating. In some atmospheres oxides may be reduced.
The same as annealing but carried out in an atmosphere that prevents tarnishing or scaling and therefore preserves the bright surface.
A process carried out usually in a controlled furnace atmosphere, so surface does not oxidize, remaining bright. See Annealing.
An annealing heat treatment carried out using either a specially controlled atmosphere or a vacuum, thus preventing oxidation and so keeping the surface of the steel being heat-treated bright and shiny.
